Hi,
This is my first time walking pilgrimage, am planning to walk the last 100km to Santiago de Compostela this Eastern (will be in Spain March 29th - April 6th). Got a tip that a good starting point is Ourense following Camino Sanabrès. Have read that some of the stages are quite steep, so I was wondering if this route is to recommend for newbeginners? Am walking with my mom, none of us are used to hiking, but both in good shape.
Am planning to walk these stages:
Day 1 Ourense - San Cristovo de Cea 21
Day 2 San Cristovo de Cea to Castro Dozón 18
Day 3 Castro Dozón to Silleda 27
Day 4 Silleda to Ponte Ulla 22
Day 5 Ponte Ulla to Santiago de Compostela 21
Also wondered how it is with albergues, should one make reservations (is it even possible)?
Any to recommend, especially in Santiago de de Compostela?
Have been doing some research on this forum, but there is a lot of different information, so I appreciate all tips!
